Half of his classmated died, and hald survived. My father survived only because one of his classmate found him floating in the river and picked him up into the boat.
He barely talked about it over 60 years after the war is ended, and I only started to hear about that recently. The fact he doesn't remember what happend at all, and the fact he was unrecognizable as the great portion of his skin fell off. It was only a couple of years ago he finally decided to visit where he was taken out into a boat and his life saved.
These years I grew to think that I am lucky that I have come into the world.
Mine is only recent, but everyone living on this planet now, is the survivor of the fierce condition over the history. -y-
yeah you did. . . but not to this extent.
